Other forms of alternate energy are held up by the huge costs of development. This is particularly true of power from the sun, tides waves and ocean currents, as well as oil from tar sands and shale. These sources stand to meet only a small part of the country's energy needs in the foreseeable future because the technologies are expensive, risks are high and immediate rewards are small. Progress may well require more Government grants, loan guarantees and tax incentives. What is needed to ease the nation's dependence on erratic foreign sources of oil is spending...
...True enough, the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average have not performed nearly so well as gold in the 1970s. They have lost close to 8% in value. But that hardly means that gold, which pays no dividends, would have been a better play.

Nor does he skimp on such intimate details as the site and sound of his introduction to extra marital sex. "What it amounts to is that she seduced me," writes Asimov in apparent amazement. "I just followed along, with my teeth more or less chattering...
